It occurs to me that I didn't say anything about the return of Mittmentum in yesterday's Michigan primary. So, welcome back, Mittmentum. It's actually worth remembering that for all the scorn heaped on Romney by elites, he's not done poorly in any primaries. He took second in Iowa, second in New Hampshire, first in Wyoming, and first in Michigan. He's so derided by the commentariat that it's often hard to imagine him winning, but it's perfectly possible that with his money and marathon-strategy, he'll pull this out. The media may love John McCain, but watch McCain and Romney on the television and there's really no reason to assume that McCain is the guy voters are going to choose. Plus, if Romney does win, maybe we can get more victory speeches like the one he offered last night, in which he said "the lobbyists in Washington are worried tonight, because they know things are going to change." Change to what? Are they anxious about whether their office furniture can actually fit in the White House, and fretting over the need to purchase smaller desks? Also, for more on how Mitt actually won, read Jon Cohn, who lives in Michigan and has been watching the primary.
